Syncs with Handheld
The absolute best feature of this software is the ability to sync with your handheld. The ability to call-up any password or account info in my handheld when I'm travelling is the exact feature I was looking for, but yet have all the info also stored on my computer at home. The reason I only gave four stars is the lack of a search function in the application - you have to scroll through all your entries to find the one you want.

Not enough features!
Just checked the demo version - this program does nothing but saving passwords. It lacks most functions that are typical for similar programs:
- There no possibility to drag the passwords to login pages.
- No Search, no Sort
- No file handling, Passwords are saved in a fixed folder.
- Only one dimensional category list, no hierarchical structure.
- No Password Generator
- ...
There is a lot of freeware and shareware that has more features. (e.g. Bagusoft Password Safe, Password Tresor, ...)

A must for e-commerse user
This is very easy to use.
Comes very handy with all the on-line shopping out there. You start your browsing right from inside this software by cliking on the hyperlinks for each entry.
Very vesitile, customizable. Definitelly thumbs up!!!

YOUR WORLD IN THE PALM OF YOUR HANDS!
If you want to keep your personal password and account information safe and close at hand, Passwords Plus is an easy, inexpensive alternative to the little pieces of paper floating around in your wallet. There is no learning curve and the lists are flexible and easy to personalize. Best of all, you'll keep finding new uses for it such as insurance policies, warranties, serial #'s, banking, business. Now that this information is safely with me, I refer back to it quite often. If you are concerned with security and want to organize your personal data, I highly recommend this program. ...

Gets the job done.
Since Verizon tries to make you pay to transfer pix from your phone, I wanted another solution.Datapilot works as advertised.I am able to send pictures, both ways from phone to PC and back.The transfer process does take about 30 seconds/picture.

I likewise can download ringtones to my phone. However the ringtone editor is somwhat weak so you may need another piece of software to convert your MP3s to ringtones, then easily import them to DataPilot.

The back-up mechanism for contacts was simple and straight forward.

IT does the job, barely.
Ideally, you wouldn't have to think about backing up phone numbers stored in your cell phone. Your mobile phone company would take care of it for you, and store your backups automaticaly on their servers. But life isn't so ideal. You have the choice of not bothering to backup the numbers or using DataPilot. There are no other aleternatives that I know of.

I want to use DataPilot for one thing only -- to store a backup of numbers stored in my phone. Someday, I may have to restore that backup. That's it. The program ought to have a few buttons, almost no options, and be trivial to use. Instead, it has many dozen menus and options. I think I have saved my phone numbers, but I am not really sure.

Given there is no alternative, it is worth the aggravation to get this to work. But the people who designed this ought to be ashamed of themselves. Rather than making it really really easy to archive a list of phone nubmers,they have produced a program that I suppose does other things too, but is hard to use.

ALso beware of the packaging. It takes serious effort and tools to open up the package. It is way harder to open than most electronic or software products. ... Read more

Thinking of buying a used one?Look again
Toshiba is known for their excellent notebook/laptop, but not for their PDA. My first PDA was the Apple Newton and Toshiba e335 is my current and last one (currently looking at the IPAQ 6315/6365).

My overall experience with the e335 is not too good. Hardware quality is very poor (cracked adaptor socket, creaking case). I am not at all a "heavy" user, but I still find this e335 to be inadequate and below average in everything. Battery life is average; plus it cannot be replaced when the battery is at the end of its lifetime. The processor is so slow and buggy, it requires "soft" reset several times a day.

The worst of all is the poor support from Toshiba itself as the maker of this PDA. The last rumor I heard was, Toshiba stops making and selling PDA (its a reality by now in 2005). So my suggestion is: don't even consider buying a used one or new ones advertised as clearance model, because you'll be stuck with less than average PDA that you can only use as a shiny toy to impress a 4 year old....

poor choice, don't buy
Expensive toy but not useful at all.
If you don't recharge it, you lose your memory??? What kind of a deal is that for $400, as I paid? Do yourself a favor and buy something better.

I like it, but don't buy it.
It's late August 2004. You shouldn't be considering this PDA, even as a bargain.

It's a great little device. Slim, strong, powerful. Great display. Long battery, by my standards (if I forget where it is for 3 or 4 days, it's still alive when I find it).

If you can get it for 20 bucks, ok, buy it.

Otherwise, the problem is: Toshiba won't support it anymore. By 'not supporting' the e-335, I mean they won't upgrade the OS. You're stuck with what it comes with.

That's neat and all - but Microsoft has had an upgrade out to Windows CE (or whatever they're calling it now) for almost a year. Toshiba told me in an e-mail that, like Compaq iPaq users, or Dell Axim's, or Jornada's....... e-335 won't get an upgrade. Six months between purchase of the device and the new OS and I can't get an upgrade. Not even one I can purchase.

That's annoying. It's 2004. Go shop for a different one.

Not to mention, the thing has an Intel 'X-Scale' processor. It's not a successful standard for a processor and I'm starting to run into compatibility problems.

Good PDA
Got it around my birthday Sept of 2003, Great buy, 2 problems shipping took almost 2 weeks instead of 2 days from NJ to MA, 2nd Battery problems almost 2 months later Toshiba was able to replace but battery problem continued so I gave up. All in all 8 months later and other than battery still loving it. Would buy from seller again. Still the shipping was a bit delayed but it was still a reliable PDA

Great PC, Don't buy from Amazon
On December 2, 2003 I ordered the Toshiba E335 from Amazon.com because it showed a great price and a 20 dollar mail-in-rebate.I was so excited to find a Pocket PC with 300 MHZ, MS Pocket PC 2003, and 64 MB of ram for under 200 dollars that I purchased one for my dad and one for my brother-in-law as Christmas Gifts.I was certain I would receive my package any day when I received an email from Amazon.com Customer Service saying that they had oversold the pocket pc and I would receive neither of the items I ordered.Needless to say, I am very discouraged. ...

Only for smart people
I've been using this pen for a half-year.It's unlike other pens in that you have to hold the pen horizontally for it to correctly select the pencil, stylus or red/black ink pen you wish to use.It also a comfortable pen to hold while working with the pocket pc....much better than the toothpick stylus that came with my pocket pc.I'm actually here online to purchase one for a friend.

Once you realize you have to be smarter than the pen, you'll enjoy this 4 in 1 Stylus.

Bad Buy
I thought I would use this pen as a replacement for my Belkin 4 in 1, Bad Bad idea. The black started peeling off within a week of having this stupid pen. Black and Red ink is no good (fade away). Stay away from this pen.

Not so bad once you figure out the trick to using this pen
Another reviewer indicated that you have to hold this
pen horizonatally to get reliable device changes.This
seems to be the case.My stylus/pen did not have any
mark on the end that you click so I put one on with
a permanent marker.I found that as long as this mark
is "up" with the pen horizontal, I get reliable pen
changes.Perhaps this stylus/pen relies on gravity to
work.While quirky, this is not an issue once you
figure out the trick.I've not had this long enough
for the paint to peel yet.I got this on sale for
$3.99 and I'm happy so far at that price.

Paint peals off, low ink quality, merely adequate
Cons:
- The black paint where you hold the pen peels off, you are leaft with an unsightly yellowish copper color.
- Black and red ink are bad quality and fade in an out. Red in my pen is actually intermittement.
- The cap at he top is too tall and sticks out noticably.

Pros:
- Better than the skinny stylus.
________________________________

Bottom line. I wouldn't buy it again.

Worst universal stylus
I have misplaced my 3-in-1 Stealth from Platinum pen company and started using the iConcepts pen that I have got as a present. It was a nightmare. Black inc was not working right out of the box (I had to replace it), the pencil broke in about 5 days and the stylus part was sticking out of its place every second time, so I have to disassemble the pen to stick it in. In about 10 days of use the black and silver pain that covered the pen started peeling out making it looking awkward. I have struggled a month with it and just yesterday found my misplaced Stealth. What a difference! The iConcepts went to garbage same day. If you like multi-functional pens, avoid this one, use Stealth instead. ... Read more

Pure Junk
Ditto to the other reviews.Misleading packaging.This is a worthless program that takes forever to load.

Don't By This!!! Streets and Trips is vastly better-
I bought this as an add on to my Tungsten E, what a mistake. I already own Streets and Trips from MS and use it instead of Yahoo or Mapquest. Streets, how ever does not load to Palm devices. This program is terrible. The user interface is crap. In trip planning for example, there is a time estimates, but there's no profiles for freeways v. side roads. Also you can't plan a trip based on start times, a handy feature for long trips.Stops can be added as appointments, and it routes you to your stops, but you don't know how long it might take to get there. It also has no calculated road expense. Like entering the cost of the gas and your mileage and then getting a trip profile that shows you how long and how much you can plan to spend on your trip. Simple stuff like that.

The Concierge feature, which is supposed to tell you about places to eat and such works OK, but it's not very flexible. For example, if you want to eat in a particular neighborhood it defaults to the whole town.

All in all this was a huge waste of money. If you want mapping software get Streets and Trips and print the maps you need. This one is garbage.

Buyer Beware
The packaging of this product seems delibertly designed to confuse the buyer.The product suggests that it can generate directions -- what it doesn't mention is that you have to go back to your computer each time to do so.You might as well use MapQuest!Other mapping products like Mapopolis and Tom Tom can actually do this.I finally decided to buy Mapopolis because it doesn't require a Tungsten T3 like Tom Tom (it doesn't even work on the T2 or Clie units) and have been happy with my purchase.It's a shame you can't return software, because I would love to send Rand McNally back ...

Big Mistake - Poor functionality, inaccurate
Caveat Emptor - Buyer Beware! I regularly rely on Internet mapping programs (e.g., MapQuest, Yahoo Maps) and thought a personal computer based PC to PAD mapping tool would allow easy interface between address book locations (throughout the USA) and surrounding points of interest and other business locations. The write-up for Rand McNally StreetFinder looked like a perfect fit . . .and if the software actually worked as advertised, it would have been. Unfortunately, from initial problems with installation, through dozens of common address locations that the software could not find or map, to partial downloads to my Tero 600 - this is one of the poorest software investments I have ever made. Save your money and stick with downloading maps from the Web. ... Read more

Hardware Problems
At first this worked great.Then I started experiencing image problems on the screen.Finally after a little more than a year, the iPAQ stopped working.I was in the middle of updating something when the screen went black and wouldn't change.I charged it although it was fully charged, and then it wouldn't turn off.Still, nothing on screen.Overall, I'm very disappointed.My next handheld will not be an HP.

One should try this
I received iPaq as a birthday gift from my fiance.I know quite well about electronics.
My initial impression was Wow..
The Display/Graphics is extremely pleasing.Navigation is very simple..so any starter who is not very techno savvy can operate this PC with ease.Since the operating system is Windows CE,its very simple to browse thru(as many are familiar with Windows GUI).The best feature ofcourse is Outlook Syncup (must for all Pocket PCs ofcourse) but its easy and quick.The software installation is not too difficult either.The sound quality is good and works great with a Secure Digital card as well.

Now for a few Cons,
The conventional "CROSS" at Top,right hand corner doesnot stand for "Closing" of the program but it means "Minimising" the screen.That leaves your program still running in Backgroud.So even if the display shows your "desktop" (Today screen) there are functions running in backgroud...This will make your PC freeze often if many programs are running.
This PC freezes very often and I have to reset it then.
If it freezes real bad then you will have to Hard reset it which means your data is lost.
So I would suggest that "Stop" all the running programs at certain intervals..You have that option in "Settings".

But overall I am very happy with the performance...
I would advise one to buy it.

Sync problems keep cropping up/no support
I've had mine for 1.5 years, and it's very useful, except for one problem. I can't sync. At all.

At first it synced fine, but after a while, I had occasional problems and would have to spend hours getting it to work, because my comp would not be able to find the device (I've found many reasons for this, and trust me - they are a pain to chase down - even fluff in the connector and an iffy signal to the interface will do the trick). This time, I've spent a week of evenings searching for the solution. When I checked the HP Web site, this item was totally lacking in help, I believe because it is no longer sold. My comp is fine, the device is fine, and the Activesync is there - they just are not speaking. I call this the "family feud PDA" - they are close, they are family - they won't talk.

I've given up on it - bought a Palm-based product for a bit higher cost. So easy, plus it has a camera, an MP3 player, and it syncs!

hp1910 - Nice size, lousy hardware, would not buy again
I've used PDAs for 10+ years and this unit does not compare favorably.Best features: Screen is great, software on the PDA works great.Three biggest drawbacks: 1)Unprotected buttons on front and side lead to inadvertent activation of software and battery drain whenever the unit is touched (think pocket, purse or briefcase), 2) this unit communicates only through synchronization, there is no way to communicate with any other hardware (no GPS, no serial port connection, etc.), and 3) the Microsoft ActiveSync software and/or the interface with this device is buggy (I've had lots of problems that were only recoverable by finding and deleting folders and files on my PC and then starting the connection process from scratch).I would not buy this product again and was very disappointed to uncover the missing serial port capability (not obvious until I got the unit home).

Very useful for the price.
I recieved an HP iPAQ 1915 as a gift at the end of last year, and it's great. The only difference between my 1915 and the 1910 is that the 1915 supports SDIO. But the 1915 is very hard to find, so this is the closet thing to it. If you need Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, this does not have it and a card for that feature will not work without the SDIO slot. So if you need those features, look at higher end models.

I am a big computer person, and this is MY first PDA, although other people in my family have had them, and it's great. One of the things I use mine for is basic organization using the included calander, tasks, contacts, etc. The programs are done very well, the files take up little memory, and it takes little effort to record the info you need. But if you all you need is an organizer, there are much cheaper alternatives. If you use it for more, like me, then read on.

Those tasks don't show this PDA's true cababilities. So what does? Well, games of corse. And I don't mean tetris and solitare. Can you say Nintendo and Gameboy? Yes. If you get one of these, you can get an emulator for it, and it'll play your favorite Nintendo and Gameboy games flawlessly. Of course, to download ROMS, you need to legally own the actal game. But the picture is rich, and there is no lag unless you're multi-tasking or trying to run a more intensive emulator, such as Super Nintendo or Gameboy Advanced, neither of which I have tried. There are many games writen specificly for Windows CE as well, which should run well on it. The display shows all of these beautifully.

It can also play music! Download Windows Media Player from the included CD, and you can listen to WMAs or MP3s on it. Other progams can be downloaded or purchased that can play other formats. I use WinamPAQ to paly 80kbs ogg vorbis files, which maintain CD quality while being smaller than an MP3 file. The sound quality is superb, and under settings and audio, you can adjust the bass and treble. It goes pretty loud, but as any portable music player, heavy bass and high volumes will distort some. But my main complaint comes in here. A 2.5MM HEADPONE JACK. WHY HP!?!?!? This is smaller than most headphone jacks, which are 3.5mm. This means you'll have to use their bad included headpones, or buy and carry around a bulky converter.

An SD chip can be purchased if you plan on putting large programs, music, etc. on your iPAQ. They come in many sizes between 16MB and 4GB. 128MB-512MB should be sufficent for most people.

As far as specs, they are fairly good for the price. The 200Mhz XScale processor can run basic tasks very well, as well as some more complex tasks. But listening to music while doing other stuff can stress out this CPU, and performance will suffer. If you plan on multi-tasking, get a version with a better processor. The 1900 series come with 64MB of RAM, but only 46MB is available for the user because there is only 16MB of Flash ROM. So it requires some essential programs be loaded to RAM. The available 46MB is storage and temporary memory. If you want good performance try to leave at least 1/3 of the memory empty for programs to use temporarily. A slider in the memory setting allows the user to adjust this. But this ammount of memory can store thousands of word and excel documents, tasks, contacts, appoinments, etc.

All-in-all, it should be fast and versitile enough for most people. It is a good comprimise between price and features. And it is one of the smallest PDAs available with a 320x240 display. Those who need to run more intensive programs, have more features, etc. should upgrade to a higher end iPAQ. Those who only need basic organization features can get a low end Palm or dedicated elecronic organizer for a lower price. ... Read more

Amazon.com Review

Connect to your PC using a standard phone line, synchronize data whileyou're traveling, or check e-mail and surf the Web--all from your HandspringVisor handheld with the Handspring modem module.

To set up the modem module,we inserted the included AAA batteries, removed the slot protector from theHandspring Visor, inserted the module into the Visor, connected the phone line,and ran the modem setup program. Installation was quick, easy, and intuitive,requiring only about three minutes.

To use the modem module, you'll need toinstall, set up, and run communication software. Unfortunately, the modem moduledoesn't come with software, so you'll have to download your own--a trulysurprising and disappointing omission by Handspring. However, Handspring doesmake the process of locating software easy. We visited www.handspring.com,followed links to software, and downloaded a trial version of MultiMail PRO fromActualSoft. You may want to read reviews of communication software in yourfavorite handheld periodical to determine what software title is best foryou.

MultiMail PRO comes with configuration settings for AT&T World Net,CompuServe, EarthLink, Netcom, Shore, MindSpring, and the IBM Global Network.With this software, connecting our Visor to the Internet to check e-mail was aseasy as entering a phone number, account name, and password. However, we werenot able to connect our Visor to an alternate ISP whose settings were notpreconfigured. (Obviously, we cannot fault Handspring for the limitations ofthird-party software, but we do fault them for not including software atall.)

If you want to stay connected while you're on the road, the 33.6 Kbpsmodem module is a must-have accessory. --Mike Brown

Pros:

• Easy to set up and use
• Connects your Handspring Visor to the Internet via an ordinary phone line

Cons:

• No communication software included

Features

• Slides easily into an expansion slot
• 33.6 Kbps Hayes-compatible modem
• Compatible with the Handspring Visor and Visor Deluxe
• Sends and receives e-mail
• Connects to your desktop over a standard phone connection

Awesome
This modem is awesome! I'm 14 years old and have the targus stowaway keyboard it helps a lot writing emails (and this review) I can also buy things too, it's almost like having a full computer with you all the time. This will help my mom a lot when she needs to work and i want to chat with my friends. (lol) people have written that it was hard but it was simple for me.

Comes with Handspring Connect CD (AvantGo and OneTouch Mail
I read that some folks said that they did not receive any communications software.I received a CD with my Handspring 33.5 modem that had AvantGo and OneTouch Mail from JP Mobile.I recommend the Handspring Blazer internet browser....The AvantGo software is free but uses a web-connect hotsync to get your daily off-line web channels.You can get the latest download... for version 4.0.OneTouch email was free and works great for the price.Multi-Mail was bought by Palm and is downloadable....Free trial periodof 15 days.

The modem was easy to use and install.I use rechargable AAA NiMh 1.2V @ 650mah.I have 12 so when I rundown, I just slip in a fresh charged set.I feel that fax and 56 K is not what I need so the Handspring 33.6k baude is a great price...

Connectivity for your Handspring at a very competitive price
The Handspring modem is one of the middle class modems on the market, and Amazon is offering at a great price!If you want to connect to the internet on your handspring at a good price, then this is your best bet.Although it may not be the fastest OR the thinnest in its class, it functions very well.Besides, on a tiny screen with limited content, you don't need to have a 56k modem for the connection to be fast.And, if you don't mind, carrying around an extra half-inch on your palm isn't that bad.You would be amazed with what you can do with a palm pilot hooked up to the internet.On the go, I often synchronize avant-go, connect to AOL anywhere, and browse the web all in the palm of my hand. So, if you want to be truly "connected" then buy this modem while they last.

How does this thing work???
I have had mine for a couple of weeks now and still haven't figured out how to work it.The instruction manual is not very helpful.It doesn't even tell you how to go about getting mail and accessing the internet othere than sayingyou need "third party software" to do so.Well what else would one use a modem for?Shouldn't the software be included or at least suggestions of which to use?I downloaded Eudora Suite (free) and just can't figure this out.It should not be this difficult for an average person to use.I will continue to work with it but if I can't get it up and running soon I will return it.So far it's been a waste of money.I amn very disappointed.

Great addition and Fast.
Takes 2 AAA batteries that last about 1 week for heavy duty use.Does POP3 with Eudora Mail.Also works great with Eudora Web browser.With Eudora Mail you don't need to hot sync mailbecause you access your POP3 email and can remotely erase files.It also lets you bring in attachments if needed. ...

Piece of Crap
Granted, I didn't want to spend too much on one of these.I guess I kind of got what I paid for.There is a splotch on the screen that showed up just two months after receiving it.ViewSonic totally ignored me.The battery stinks.The screen freezes so I have to reset the dumb thing.I bought this back in July of 03.I hate it.

Very good PDA compared to iPaq
Lots of good information on the Viewsonic, including the software upgrade, at the Yahoo group:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ViewSonic/

Don't buy this
This handheld has never worked properly. The USB connection has never worked well. I used to be able to synchronize to my computer once in a blue moon by holding the handheld down on the cradle and gently moving it until it connected. It has now completely failed to connect -- after less thana year. Also the alarm goes off at random times. For no reason it started beeping at midnight last night and again at 5 AM. I had a Palm for years and have gone back to using it. It was so much more reliable.

Probably the best choice in 250$ range
Before buying this product I thought a long time tochoose between the V35 and HP1910 and finally decided infavor of v35.
I am using it with a 128MB SDCard for additional storage space.
Up to now, I did not have any problems with the device. One of the cons is it does not have many built-in gadgets like wireless (802.11b) or bluetooth, but in this price range those are impossible to find.
I frequently get online help from ViewSonic and so far they answered all my questions in two days time via email. Viewsonic runs a free upgrade program to PocketPC2003 (device comes with PPC2002) at the moment. Ive had a problem with this issue, because of the fact that I am living in Turkey, the online free upgrade program does not support me, but I ve contacted to Viewsonic and they agreed to send me a free upgrade cd if I would give them an address in US. But for US residents I dont think this will create a problem.
The good thing about the PPC2003 upgrade is that with the upgrade, it is said that (Ref: ViewSonic website and "http://www.socketcom.com/pdf/SDIOCompatibilityMatrix.pdf", the onboard SD slot gains SDIO (SD Input/Output) capability. This means, you can purchase a wireless SDIO card and use it to browse web or you can also get a Bluetooth SDIO and connect to devices using Bluetooth, possibilities are endless. As far as I know its strongest rival HP1910 does not have any SDIO and CompactFlash IO capability. I would recommend PDA buyers to be careful about the expansion capabilities of the devices they are thinking to purchase.
The onboard InfraRed port works fine. The TFT screen is well lit and provides comfortable usage. The device is made of metal looking plastic, it may be better if it is made of light metalsuch as aluminum or better titanium. The battery takes more than 4 hours depending on the processor usage.
ActiveSynch connection to PC works well. The portable poweradapter for charging is a good idea, you can take it with you and charge it whenever necessary just like your cell phone. It may be wonderful if an additional portable USB synch cable is provided with the device in addition to the provided cradle. Another wonderful thing would be an additional CF card slot, but I dont think anybody can find both of the slots in a device in the price range.
As a conclusion, with the additional expansion capabilities (SDIO)with the PocketPC2003 upgrade, this may be one of the best choices in this price range. I would also strongly recommend the usage of an additional memory card with the device.

Worst Possible Customer Service
View screen went bad in just under 2 months of light use.Spend 2 1/2 hours at Compusa trying to get replacement, ended up calling Viewsonic and signing up for their "will ship in 48 hours" replacement program.Had to fax forms to them twice since first form Viewsonic said to fill out was the wrong form.Now 2 weeks later unit has yet to ship.DO NOT BUY FROM VIEWSONIC.... ...

I agree, it is pathetic
I bought the software to calculate mileages between two points. I operate a trucking business and drive myself. I want to calculate the distance say, between Raleigh, NC and Philadelphia, PA. I have a 1 gig compact flash card I bought to store the map data on. It was hopeless to even think about loading the east coast onto the memory card. I sat there for an hour highlighting the entire east coast(selecting blocks). I had 21,000 blocks selected. The desktop worked all night trying to save this file. I never did get it to work. DeLorme acts like this software is so versatile. The object of using a Handheld computer for mapping is to store mapping info and perform useful functions in the field as they may arise. This software is for someone who would rather save a small map on a pda rather than use the paper one they have or print one and take it along. I am also returning this software. It is a joke and a real dissapointment. I have a few other quotes but they would be inappropriate to post here. I hate to even rate it with one star. -5 stars would be more like it.

Crashes when you try to make a route!Worthless!
I have the 2005 version.It is worthless.It will not allow you to route from current GPS position to a point.And...when you try to map a shortest or quickest route, the system freezes after up to 5 minutes of "thinking" the computation.The software is only effective at routing for very short routes.Anything I tried over 10 miles would take at least 5 minutes to compute.And I'm using a newer HP Ipaq with plenty of memory.This software stinks.If you buy a GPS go with some other software.

pitiful
I used to like DeLorme's products.THis one is poor at best as far as being functional.GPS takes forever to locate, map loading from desktop to PDA is not as easy as the interface would have you believe, and you cannot adjust zoom level manually.

As poor as the Pharos / Ostia package is, it beats DeLorme in functionality.I wish it had the POI and address info that DeLorme has ... better yet, I wish DeLorme had thier functionality.I am returning the DeLorme product in the morning.

Do Not Purchase - Major Flaws
I unfortunately purchased the Delorme USA 2004 Handheld Street Atlas.I can't believe Delorme would release such a third rate product.

What is good. The maps are ok, some pretty good POI, but I found them to not be placed correctly on the maps, in some cases up to a mile off.

What is bad. Quite a bit.The maps are slow to load, you can't re-calculate a route if you take a wrong turn (which makes the program pretty much completely worthless), Locations can't be saved on the PDA, so you need to re-type them every time you want to make a route, the app does not take advantage of the Clie long screen. Street level detail is lacking when zoomed in at the lowest level - simple things like street names. When traveling, the cursor that indicates your location is usually off - this once again depends on finding the correct zoom level.

Door to Door directions is a bit misleading if you ask me. Searching is horrendous. It does not allow for saved searches, so once again, you need to type stuff over again and again.

I hope the 30 day guarantee still applies. I wish I read these reviews before I bought this.

A flawed product
I'm returning this product.I couldn't get out the starting gate because of poor documentation.It was very unclear how to transfer maps from a PC to a Palm T3 SD Card.Other reviewers point out that you can't do address lookups on the PDA which limits the usefullness of this package.I was planning to use this software with Delorme's Earthmate GPS receiver.I'm now looking at the TomTom T3 GPS offering instead. ...

Nec Mobile Pro 900
Ok to all of you looking at an alternative to pocket pc and laptops then this device will be a welcome addition and a change of some sorts. I've owned a Jornada 720, 728 and a 547 which is a pocket pc. I honestly prefer handheld to the pocket pc because it encompasses everything into one unit with minimal lugging around of accessories and gadgets. When a unit can accommodate compact flash, secure digital and has a built in modem and PCMCIA slots then u have an all in one solution. These particular styles are more geared to the mobile professional and the frequent traveler. I'm considering buying this one and selling all of my old handhelds and pocket pc's because of nothing else technology. The only manufacturer left in the game is NEC and this unit has a 400 MHz Xscale processor (the same as in the high end pocket pc's) and has 64meg of ram and rom. The thing that people are going to say negatively about this machine is the screen. That's not NEC's fault. Until Microsoft gets off its lazy unsupportive billion dollar butt and offers a service pack to the hpc2000 OS then it will be hard to foresee change. I can stand being at the mercy of software developers. Hardware has always been ahead of software throughout the inception of technology. The current Handheld OS is 4 years old and wont support higher resolutions and color depths. However this unit does have external capabilities that allow it to be displayed at 800x600 which is acceptable for power point presentations and the like. Everyone that is a Handheld owner should write and send email to Microsoft to force a service pack upgrade because these units are more than capable of providing years of good hard use and its a shame that a new warranted unit like the NEC is hampered only by the software and not technology. It's a shame as well that HP got out of the market because their Jornadas were second to none. Anyway I'm a dreamer and I do foresee an upgrade to the OS and this NEC unit does have a ton of potential and a myriad of uses. Don't buy it expecting it to compete with a pocket pc in terms of the screen and performance due to the fact it uses passive active matrix screen versus the TFT screens on ppc's and the OS isn't optimized for the Xscale processor but nonetheless nothing else fills the void and hits the spot like the mobile pro900.

I found the answer!! The in-between-machine!!
I love this-- I hated carrying around a heavy laptop-- and I did not want to shell out the crazy amount of $$$ for a super light one-- because only the lightest would have been useful to me-- This is the answer-- Instant on and instantly into documents and off to work-- I've only had it a short time but its already proved incredibly useful, I've given up my notebook(actual paper spiral) that I used to haul around to meetings and though I was hesitant to give up my calendar I decided to pitch it within a few days!!!
Adressing the other reviewers negativity-- just cause he is an IT guy does not mean he knows what he is talking about!!! Syncing with my computer took just a few minutes-- It is like MAGIC
Thanks NEC!

More Hype than truth
I really wanted a more powerful Jornada 720 which is sort of the claim that NEC puts on this product. They keyboard is pretty good and some parts of the design like the placement of the CF slot and the PC Card are perfect. However, this is not exactly a small form factor like the Jornada it is about the size of a Fujitsu P1120 or a Avertec P. Weight wise it is about .5lb from the the P1120 and 2lbs from the Avertec. A good part is that it does have the ability to instantly turn on but the screen is terrible. In fact probably the worst screen of any PDA / Laptop I have seen. It is all washed out. I wanted this so that I could throw it in a Gym bag and if needed instantly turn it on and trade stocks through a TMobile Aircard. I found that the syncing with ActiveSync 3.7 was terrible, sometimes it would work other times it would fail on WinNT2000K and with XP Pro it was a nightmare. Part of the NEC 900 that is rotten is the OS. THe HPC 2000 is just plain buggy. The AirCard software would die while it works on a PDA and over 6 laptops and tablets.

Pros:
+ Turns on fast
+ CPU is definately faster than Jornada like 4 times as fast
+ CF/PCMCIA slot are position nicely and takes both I/II
+ Keyboard excellent

COns:
+ Too big just isn't small enough to be like a Jornada and too small to be like a P1120 or Sony TR1 or JVC Interlink all of which are much more powerful
+ Screen is worst I have ever seen
+ Syncing/OS is out of date and difficult

Bottom line for the price it isn't too bad if you want something light to type on or run excel spreadsheets that will last 8 hours. They keyboard is awesome so if you have large fingers and need an ultra portable this is ok if you can get around the screen.

Great HPC Palmtop!
NEC did a good job with this one!With the improved battery life, the USB slave port, the flash ROM, OS, and the 400mhz processor NEC surely made a seller!Many people do not realize that this unit is not running Windows XP, so this unit can out speed most laptops with its operating system!

People need to actually give HPC devices an honest chance, and with the right expectations.They will not be disappointed!

I love my NEC
The keyboard is amazing and I have never had any problem with this unit what so ever. I always have it in my backpack and I love the fact that CE allows you to turn it on and off instantly. I also use it for checking emails and some light surfing, although I rather surf on my laptop due to the small screen. I have never reset my NEC since I got it 4 months ago. ... Read more

Buyer Beware
I liked the PC version, but the handheld version is expensive, hard to use and not that much value.When compared to MS Streets and Maps it is not even in the same league.The Bluetooth feature is problematic and the tech support is poor.In both versions there seems to be a bug that introduces a position error of about 200 feet.This seems to be problem for both the hand held and PC editions.If this keeps up I expect DeLorme to be out of business within 2 years.Too bad---It has the potential to be world class.

If you are computer literate at all you'll love it.
This program is awesome!!!You install the software on your PC and choose how much you want to sync to your PDA.You can sync detailed maps or just highways and interstates.My wife works at a flower shop and sometimes delivers.Type in the address and it will take you their.
Syncing the the maps can be a little difficult the first time but I didn't even need to look at the instructions.I highly recomend this product.

Looking for a PDA map program????Keep looking.
Xmap version 1.3 keeps causing 'Fatal Errors' and 'Memory Chunk' errors on my m125 running PalmOS 4.0.1.Delorme states this may happen with routes but I'm only using it to see their 'Sample' map that came with the product.I loaded their downloadable fixed version 1.4 but it has the same result.
I live in the Dallas, Texas area and would like a map of Dallas and Fort Worth.Unfortunately, the program locks up my computer every time I try to create a map of that area.I then followed the procedure Delorme recommends to prevent so called 'other background software' from halting their product.Guess what?That procedure made no difference.The program usually locks up at more than 50% of creating the map.Once it got all the way to 84% before it halted.At that time, the file was well over 9 MB!!!I'm not sure I need THAT much data.I just want the streets.Rand McNally's Streetfinder does this same area in about 2MB but it has MAJOR DEFECTS also and I definitely don't recommend it (see my other review).
I have been using Mapopolis with some maps I downloaded a couple of years ago, but the price now is a little prohibitive since I need maps for spur of the moment travel somewhat infrequently and don't always have time or access to the web to download them.I can't afford to download maps for all places I MIGHT go.Mapopolis works perfectly, even with memory cards, and I recommend it if you can afford the maps.I guess I will continue to use my laptop until something better comes along.I write software.It is a shame I don't know more about map databases so I could develop my own program and tell these guys where to go.

Not User Friendly
I have used the regular PC Versions of Street Atlas for years and love it. This software for a PDA need to be pulled from the market by Delorm before it gives all their software a bad name. They are trying to load too much secondary travel info into the PDA and not what is really needed. Which is easy to use maps or areas that can be easly loaded and navigated. Something like their Street Atlas for PC's Ver. 01. Who needs the names of hotels, places of interest, and eating establishments on a PDA. All you want to do is find out where you are and where you are going.

Toshiba 755e
I bought this PDA two years ago.It has never synched well with either my laptop or my desktop.I always have to reset the PDA in order for it to synch.This didn't happen when it was new and Toshiba tells me it can only be my virus protection.I have also gone through three batteries.I was told today (3/1/05) that the battery is now $84 and that Toshiba no longer repairs PAs.Overall, very poor support from Toshiba.

toshiba e755
Used product for 8 weeks before complete failure in the absence of any kind of misuse.Since use began only 4 weeks before end of warranty period, Toshiba offered not help, and no service options,even though I was willing to pay.Was told twice I would be called by Toshiba Customer relations, and wasn't.Pocket PC's not repaired at authorized Toshiba computer service centers in a 20 mile radius.The nature of the failure was a complete system freeze, and failure of both "soft" and "hard" reboots to fix. Screen ultimately blank, with fully charged battery.Truly a $500 paper weight.It is a bitter lesson: do not purchase Toshiba computer products, unless from a retailer that allows no questions asked unconditional return (not too many of those!)What's amazing is this type of failure has been described by reviewers of the previous model, AND the subsequent e805.Toshiba is not ready for prime time, and hasn't been for years.This suggest to me a deep structural problem in its engineering and management.

very good... few small problems
the product is good and promising for a bussy user
but there are few problems :
1- No good support.
2- It frozes in two occasions, so I have to restart it again, and it is a very good practice to keep it sync everyday with your main computer.
3- it turned off by itself 6 times... that is really bad, because this ment that I have to re-sync with my computer, a process usually takes time and efford, and you wouldn't like it to happen SIX time.

Great product but..
This would be a really great product if it didnt continually need to be re-set. Its annoying because it resets for seemingly no reason at all, and I lose all my information, and then have to re-synch with Outlook, which defeats the whole point of having the unit. Im trying to find an answer from Tohiba, or to find out if I have the biggest lemon in the world

exelent pda
I just picked one of these up for 300 bucks, and let me tell you that this is the best pda I have ever used. I had a ipaq 3760 which wore out, and I was fortunate enough to find one of these for a mere 300 bucks, compaired to the ipaq 1945 which is the best other product in this price range, the e755 wins hands down. It has both SD and CF slots, integrated wireless, and enough features to keep you on your heels for weeks. and now the biggest thing... the battery life is great! I can use this all day without recharging it or changing the battery. exelent buy on a exelent unit. ... Read more

Just does not work; tech support non-existent
Installed twice from CD, but program is "unable to find" a critical file.On-line troubleshooting guide is a waste of time for this problem.Telephone tech support is only available M-F 8-5, and email support promises a two-day response but so far nothing after seven days.The only function in the program that works is the link to their web site.

This software is GARBAGE!!!
This software got the one star only because I cannot give it a zero.

The main reason I spent $50 on this is for the phonebook transfer between my Outlook and my Motorola T730. I don't care about ringtones or calendar or whatever. I have a laptop and a PDA for that stuff. I want this to make it easier to do what a phone is supposed to do.

The import function is sub-standard in that there was all sorts of mis-read information after I read in my comma-delimited file from Outlook. Then I came to discover that only one phone number per entry is allowed! That, after it supposedly can read in several phone numbers into its database on the PC. That was the show stopper. It goes back to the store tomorrow.

Do NOT waste your time with this software!

Not Fully Realized
With just a little assistance from the help file and User Guide I was able to identify my phone (Motorola t720,) import my contacts from Outlook 2002 and transfer to my phone. Although seemingly successful, there were limitations. The transfer wiped out the phonebook on my SIM card but it didn't place any contacts there. The help file gives loose instructions to direct a contact from theDataPilot's phonebook manager on the PC to the SIM phonebook. I was unable to get this feature to work; the DataPilot's phonebook manager inevitably converted my changes and placed those contacts in the phone memory. The phonebook in the phone can store multiple numbers for a contact but the software's phonebook manager does not transfer more than one phone number per contact; though it will import up to 6 numbers from Outlook?

The calendar transfer was more successful. I was pleased with that function.

I'll investigate Motorola's pricier option... If they provide the functionality I'm looking for, I'll go for it.

Huge time saver
This product is owesome. Punching all the numbers by hand would have taken me hours, but instead it was a matter of seconds. Internet dial up is very convenient when I am on a business trip or out for the weekend.
Ring tone editor is not the neatest thing, but I guess is only Motorola that forces you to manually punch the ring tones. At least, the software converts the file for manual entry. That's a plus.

Really bad software
I bought this product and the truth was dissapointing, I have a Motorola V60i which I could synchronize without problem, except because at the time of seeing I telephone of the directory one because they appear rare things. Now as far as the part of RINGTONES, because in my I telephone I must enter them of manually, which is too boring, but nonsingle that, if not that when reproducing them in my cellular one is listened to any thing. The truth is a bad item, I do not recommend for anything this software.
Be carefull. ... Read more

Does not pass quality check (Needs polishing)
The electronic sheet does not support all formula. Worse, the function T(number) that converts a number into a string doesnt work since version 5 (I reported it near 18 months ago)Dataviz only supports last version at USD$ 19.99 per incident, even if the problem has been reported in the past. Three support calls and you are near of paying in support, the price of the box.

I purchased my Zaurus sl-5500 over a year ago and have never been disapointed.I choose the sharp pda because of the short lifespan that plagues most pda models (ahem... ipaq...).I had owned several sharp products in the past, including an imported md player , and still have all of them running strong.Sticking by sharp was definitly a good choice, because my zaurus has taken all kinds of beatings and is still running perfect.My zaurus has been dropped in a toilet, fallen out of my pocket while skateboarding, been tossed around all over the place, frozen, and sat on. Although the plastic casing has its share of scratches and dings, the zaurus still performs perfectly.I have it coupled with an ambicom wifi card and have loved its wireless support.I can scroll instant message and surf ubersite from the toilet with ease.I have changed the gui and have added all kinds of software and never had a problem with the system.I was afraid that my lack of knowledge would hurt my ability to use and take advantage of the zaurus's capabilities, but the software is intuitive and easy to use.The zaurus runs great as a stock pda, but it excels in its custamizability and compatability.I would recomend the zaurus to anyone looking for a pda, above any other brand.

Great PDA for the money
Right now the 5500 is around $200 and it is hard to beat this PDA at that price. Sure the 5600 and 6500 have fancier features, but they are still priced too high. The best thing about the Sharp Zaurus running Linux is the enormous amount of free software that has been developed for it. You can make this little PDA do ANYthing! My only gripe is that Sharp hasn't put more effort into making syncing the Zaurus with Linux easier out of the box. It's as if they assumed a Linux PDA would only be popular with Windows and Mac users. How dumb is that? Otherwise, my favorite PDA.

The swiss army knife of palmtops
After reading a variety of reviews on a number of palm devices, I decided to try the Zaurus.So far, I havn't been dissapointed with my decision.The Zaurus GUI is responsive and the applications appear to work well and intuitively.The text reader application did lock up on a huge file. Other than that, no problems.

As stated previously, this product's greatest strength is the Linux OS that lies underneath rhe hood. I've downloaded a few UNIX shell based tools that have compiled and worked without a hitch. I love using Opera with a d-link cf wireless card. It required almost no tweaking and works great.The Zaurus is made of plastic but appears to be fairly durable. The battery is a bit underpowered on 5500 (The 5600 has a battery 2X larger.)

If you plan on networking the 5500, read the security information regarding ftp weaknesses in early models.

Overall, a great value for $200!

Zaurus 5500 PDA
I was a Sharp Wizard user, so I was excited when they came out with a more sophisticated PDA.I was swayed by the price and the pull out keyboard unit.Since I purchased it in November 2003, I have not been able to sync anything but the address book and calendar.This is a waste to me.After several e-mails and phone calls to Sharp, I am considering chalking this up to a bad experience, and jumping out of the Sharp bandwagon and purchasing a Palm or IPAQ.I am truly disappointed with this product and pray that you do not make the same mistake.

I love it!!!
This is an absolutely great PDA.It runs linux and there is tons of free software available for download.It runs, Java and Python, my two favorite languages so I can easily write my own software for the Zaurus. ... Read more
